FAQ
-
1.The difference between 86160 (940nm) and 86160A (1400nm) window film transmission meters
The main difference between 86160 and 86160A is that the peak wavelength of the built-in infrared light source is different, 86160: 940nm, 86160A: 1400nm, these two wavelengths are more representative, most of the absorption film has a better blocking effect on 940nm infrared. The metallic film (insulation by reflecting heat) has a better blocking effect on 1400nm infrared. Please choose the appropriate model according to your own film category.

2. The difference between 86160 and 86162 window film transmission meters
The appearance and size is different and the measurement parameters are basically the same; the test notch of 86160 is 0.8mm, which is only suitable for testing materials with a thickness of less than 0.8mm;
The test notch of 86162 is 8mm, which can test films and stick-film glass. It can also directly measure the data of automobile side windshield.
